I want to play the original Doom... or Doom 2, or Ultimate Doom. It has come to my attention that I've played the original a couple of times. I'm very familiar with the game though, I've played ports of it for SNES, GBA, 32X, PS, N64, the works. But never the real deal for more than an hour. The thing must be floating around somewhere for free now, where can I get it and how can I play it? Would it even run on Windows XP? They must have hacked and mangled it, I know there's somewhere I can do it. I want to play the original, or as close to it as possible. Mods and hacks are welcome. |

i have it all! i suppose i could send the files to you, for evaluation purposes only of course! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Gear! How big is the file? I recall it fit on a 1.44 MB floppy... if it's smaller than 2MB, can you send it to revolverjgw@hotmail.com? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Doom, Doom2, TNT, Plutonia all run from the same program 'The Ultimate Doom'. If it just the Original Doom 1 that you want then it will probably fit on a couple of floppy's, however i highly recommend that you have the whole package, 61MB (unzipped). I can send on a cd or let you download it from my pc if you know how. |

You've never played the PC version for more than an hour at a time? man, fuck ports! play it for PC you slacker! |

I find it hard to play doom for less than 2 hours, it is just one of those games that you really get into. I cant wait for doom3 to come out! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The whole thing zipped is 26 MB Ophecks |

Doom was great fun... although I prefer Duke Nukem 3d... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
61MB... that probably won't fit in my hotmail! Do you have Soulseek or anything? Zephyr Twin- D'uh! :-p |

I remember reading about the PC version of Doom in a copy of Hyper (game mag) March 93 i think, it got about 94%!! It was a big thing! You needed 4MB of RAM on your PC aswell.. I only had 2MB :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm actually downloading a .zip file, 40MB, from someone with Soulseek, says ''all 4 Doom games''. But it's a slow download and who knows what's ACTUALLY inside it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seriously though, I find it appalling that you spent so much time and money on ports when the PC version is so readily available and so obviously superior. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK, I can install soulseek and share it if the current file turns out to be bogus. I have ADSL so it wont be a problem. The zip i have is 27 MB btw |
||||||||

Whats inside? Kinda Surprise! |

i remember when kinder surprise used to have really cool toys inside that had loads of parts and you had to make them tourself, now though it is usually some plastice piece of shite with a head and a body and an instruction book telling you that the head plugs into the body. no fun |

I got my first computer in 2000, and by then it was just too passe. I was a late blooming computer geek, have mercy on me! Jazembo- OK, this download will be done later tonight, I'll just see if it's legit (I'd message the guy and ask but I'm too shy) and and if it's not, then we'll figure something out. You're my Hero of the Day anyway. |
||||||||
|

|
|
ok, just email me if you need to. And remember to scan it first!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, in that case it is completely understandable.. but for me doom was probably the first great game I ever played, I remember back in the 4th grade I had to convince my dad to spend 100 dollars(!) on a 4meg stick of ram so that my computer could run doom in DOS! Boy oh boy, how times have changed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha! yes! I eventually got an extra 2MB of RAM for my 386 computer! And It was a huge difference! I was DOOMing! memories indeed! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I beat the SNES version, but it was choppy, pixelly, ugly... still very enjoyable. The N64 version was a standalone game, not a remake or port... it was actually pretty awesome, but really obscure and underrated. But yeah... I know I need to play the old man himself, so I'm trying. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, haha I turbocharged my 486 to 8mb of ram... God all this talk of doom has made me remember all the hours spent playing it, I kind of feel the need to play it now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The best thing about doom was that it was the first game with multiplayer options. Ahhh it was so fucking great I' gonna start crying now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
first game=first shooter |
||||||||

I can imagine myself enjoying going through doom2 cooperative mode with a couple of mates even during these days of yore with the crappy geforce cards and sluggish frame rates. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you wimps, I played doom on a 386 with 2 megs of ram... so there, take that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or was that Wolfenstein? Hmmm, no I think it was Doom also... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It probably was wolfenstein. Forget what I posted about sluggish frame rates. Doom was quite a beast back in the days. It probably needed a monster pc and a 386 with 2 mb ram wouldn't cut it. It would run decently in a 486 with 8mb and above. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep Wolfenstein was awesome too! Doom needed 4Mb RAM to run! Wolf3d needed little. |
||||||||
|

Beware the new virus called myDoom! :O |

That zip file was just the ticket... Doom 95, Doom II, Ultimate Doom and Final Doom, all fully functional. I got pretty far into the first one, and I'm feelin' it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Glad to hear it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I just downloaded doom 95, and for some reason all the colors keep going insane! it's cool for a minute, but then it basically just gets annoying, although not unplayable... anyone know why this might be happening? I took some screens, but the colors aren't coming out nearly as vibrant as they are in the game. In game its like red/pink/green/blue eveywhere... |
||||||||
| Attached picture | |||||||||
|
|||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok well it got to the point that the colors would switch between two sets every time I fired a gun, so this is basically just un-fucking-playable. Glad that I can't even enjoy Doom on a computer that has at least 100 times the system requirements. |

Eghhhkk! Ug-Ly!!! |

wtf? playing doom with a geforce? the fuckin tnt and voodoo graphics hadnt even been invented then, let alone a third gen vid card. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When I was playing doom most of the graphics calculations were made by the cpu. The video cards back then had nothing to do with acceleration they just adjusted the resolution to svga and colours to hi-colour or something. You misread my post. I was just whinning like an old bitch about how crappy geforce cards are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They were called local bus or something. The 3d acceleration "revolution" came much later with 3dfx yadda yadda... |

What OS are you using? If it is xp then find the doom.exe, right click and make sure that win 98 compatability is turned on in the properties. If this does not work then you can also try changing the screen resolution before the game starts in the config window. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
legacy.newdoom.com its a doom port for windows and it supports opengl, coloured lighting, 3d floors, water and a whole bunch of other stuff.. like 32-player multiplayer (i think its 32).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"mein leben!" also such a cool smashing pumpkins sample |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blake stone was the shit! I had the first episode (Blake Stone: Planet Strike) but I wish I could've gotten the other 5. Jazembo: I checked the compatibility thing because I totally forgot to do and it worked. :) I've got it set to run at 640x480 fullscreen in the launcher, but if it didn't work at that res I was just going to say fuck it because I have serious qualms about playing any game at a resolution lower than that. =P |
||||||||
|

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just started the 2nd episode of Doom 1, man I'm lovin this shit. I've been using Ultravisitor as my soundtrack and it's hardcore! I haven't had some good old nostalgic gaming like this in a while.. but I got mah trusty shotgun back now. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just make sure you don't cheat the first time through! I like Fear Factory and Disturbed playing while I blash some demon ass with my double barrel shotgun :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Fuck cheats, Doom is easy enough - there should never be any need for cheats. |
